Biography


Marcourt was a member of the French Rite of the Templar Order chapter of the Templar Order, and became a general in the French Revolutionary Army during the French Revolutionary Wars. As a military commander, Marcourt enjoyed duelling other people in Paris, and killed many people across France in the name of liberty.

In July 1793, Marcourt and three other generals of the French Army plotted to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety and form a new government over the French Republic. However, he was unaware that General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, who was not a member of the Templar Order, heard the conversation and decided to assist the rival Assassin Order in putting an end to his plans.

Death
The Assassins sent Arno Dorian to carry out the assassination of General Marcourt, and Dorian gained entry to a duel with some French officers after collecting several flags in a short amount of time. When he won the duel, he was able to meet Marcourt, and he killed him in a duel. Aided by General Dumas, Arno then hunted down the remaining conspirators and put an end to the Templar plot.
